question 7

Explanation:

• Question 2: Simple Subjectivism is about personal feelings, while Ethical Egoism's normative standard is self - interest (not autonomy).
• Question 3: Divine Command Theory is about God's commands, Ethical Egoism is about self - interest. Hedonism is about pleasure, and they are not forms of hedonism.
• Question 4: Ethical Egoism is a moral theory (one should act in self - interest, but doesn't deny altruism's possibility in a descriptive sense like Psychological Egoism which claims all actions are self - motivated).
• Question 5: Social Contract Theory involves mutual benefit (related to limited choice via enlightened self - interest compared to Ethical Egoism's pure self - interest focus).
• Question 6: Judaic - Christian ethic is based on God's plan, human purpose in it, and morality - religion link, not on accepting atheist views.
• Question 7: Natural Law Theory (NLT) posits values/meaning are found through reason in the world (not God - dictated like Divine Command, not human - made as in some relativist views, and not undetectable).
